About Norwegian Dawn

Norwegian Dawn is a Dawn Class ship that Meyer Werft delivered to Norwegian Cruise Line in 2002, and she was the first NCL ship to carry hull art. At 92,250 gross tons she has 1,170 staterooms, a mid-sized ship with a more relaxed feel, and highlights include the Garden Villas, Moderno Churrascaria, La Cucina and a casino. Refits in 2011, 2016 and April 2024 added staterooms and refreshed her public spaces.
